Does Mayweather have to beat Pac decisively to win??

[JayDee2700]

Nah! I think the better fighter will win, an IMO that will b Floyd, I like both fighters but lookin at Manny and what he has done of late and how exposed he is in fights I expect Floyd to take advantage of that and outbox him, I dont expect the Manny to be as loose as he is against other fighters, I think Floyd will command most of the fight, Manny isnt a good adjuster, tho I expect him to hit Floyd a lot more then what Floyd is use too but at the end of the day Manny doesnt have the Ring IQ to keep hitting floyd with the same type of combinations, I expect Floyd to counter be4 Manny gets into a flow.

What I mean here is...


When it becomes hard to judge a fight, the judges will go with the more active fighter. In this case, the more active fighter will be Pacquiao. Now on top of this, I know Bob Arum is a shady character. He will shake hands, have dinner dates and throw some money around. In another words...bribery. Does Floyd Mayweather have to defeat Manny Pacquiao by knockout or a clear unanimous decision (as in, 12 rounds of pure dominance by Mayweather), to actually have his hand raised at the end of the fight? Because, if you include the boxing politics into the fight I feel like Floyd Mayweather is going to get screwed. For instance, if Oscar de la Hoya was part of Top Rank when he fought Mayweather and the fight was exactly the same, I have a feeling Oscar would have won due to Arum's "behind the scene" tactics.

Floyd snr had Oscar by two round against his own son.
